FEH air conditioning
Re: FEH air conditioning
Our 2006 when set to max just keeps the ICE running and we control the fan speed manually with fan speed dial. When set to recirculate air conditioning and low fan speed we now see a temp drop of 40 degrees from outside to inside the cooling duct.(when temp dial set to coldest setting)

Re: FEH air conditioning
That's not the way it works in my 2005 FEH. Max setting just overides the electric motor and keeps the ICE on. When in "Max" I can still set 4 different blower speeds. I checked my inside temperature and it is only 10 to 15 degrees lower than outside temperature......at any setting.

Re: FEH air conditioning
Just as we've heard from '05 and '06 owners, I can add that my '08 FEH doesn't change the fan speed when MAX is pressed.
Stevedebi's point is that WWest's statement was incorrect (at least for several FEH models, possibly all of them). It doesn't matter what you drive/own, if you're putting out bad information, others on this forum, most of whom have first hand knowledge, will call you on it.
If you make a habit of it, people eventually ignore you. Such is life.

Not at all; the diversity of opinion is enjoyable. But I prefer posts based on experience with the FEH.

Re: FEH air conditioning
My understanding is that he 2005-2007 models have the "Max" setting. My 2008 certainly does not.

Re: FEH air conditioning
Ford went to a automatic A/C system from a manual system in '08 and it does not have a maximum setting like the older model FEH. However, you should have an interior recirculate button which does the same as a Max button if your A/C temperature is turned to the lowest temperature setting. With the older manual system, it has a Max setting that automatically recirculates the air and keeps the engine ON with no EV. The Econ button also recirculates air from the interior, but it allows EV. The blend doors regulate how much warm air is mixed with A/C air by adjusting the temperature controls on both systems. The blends doors should prevent passing warm heater core coolant air from mixing in the coolest temperature settings on both systems.
Technically your right about the Max settings button, but the lowest temperature and recir need to be On when testing the ability of the A/C. On the automatic system you just set the digital temperature like you want it and go. The blower fans will also adjust in the automatic setting without manual control.
